Last time they toured here, their fielding was one of the things that actually stood out! What has happened since then?

I know!! We actually caught really well all summer, and even started quite well in the first test too and from memory against SA also. This has been f**king abysmal
Looks like there's less than 50 people in the stands
There's more people in stands in Guyana (prob around 1000) watching some random Victoria v Bangladesh RR T20 game
it's not a good look, i get the money comes from the TV but be nice to have a few there after a great win and the fact they don't play tests again for ages in WI.
nahid rana looks really good i gotta say if he gets a deck with bounce in it.

We really are putting together a solid pace unit and I like it. Jayden Seales finished with 4-5 off 15 overs - amazing figures. He now has 71 wickets at 21.9 and he’s managed to do it without any really big hauls. Ultra consistent so far.
I think it’s good that the home board - I assume it’s the home board - have tried to do something proactive and host some tests outside of the normal season and more than likely to combat the usual player drain to franchise cricket. But it means risks with the weather, and as usual no common sense prevails among the officials who rather than using the abundance of early natural light opt to make up for the 4 hours missed in day one, decide to start…. 15 minutes early. And we lose more time at the end of day two, and have this ridiculous situation of Brathwaite and Carty batting for stumps at 1-2 runs an over.

A vintage bowling performance by the Windies at Sabina Park. Seales and S Joseph channelling Holding and Marshall!
Check out the catch at 4.37
A good performance with the bat too. Hoping Braithwaite builds on his good start to score a century

An exciting mix of youth and experience, this is potentially one of the best 4 prong pace attacks Windies have had since the 90s

Disappointed that Roach won’t be around much longer to actually be able to ‘enjoy’ it as such, having been a one man band for much of his career with some little cameos here and there from guys like Jerome Taylor and Shannon Gabriel (Gabriel gave good service to be fair). But things are looking a bit better.
Unless he does an Anderson and keeps on playing for another 4 years.

lol who knows, he still gets really good returns from West Indies pitches which is unusual for a bowler of his dimensions and pace in recent years. He still gets that nice away seam to lefties from around the wicket even in the high 120s and I guess very similar to Anderson he’s just the ‘banker’ that the captain can go to and know that he will control things.
Good to see the Bangers with their 150+ lad in action today
Nahid would've been pretty lively on this wicket I imagine. How often does he clock 150?

I was asleep for a lot of it and did the old ‘open one eye and check what’s going on’ and I don’t know that he actually breached the mark today but he bowled 3 balls that I saw that were 149.9/149.8 so near enough in the few overs I did that for. That was in his second spell and based on the commentary on cricinfo he broke it in his first.
Young tearway quicks like him are reason to tune in alone for

yeah a far cry from when the aussies toured there in '91 and '95.
i think the aussies are the next team to tour the west indies, so it'll be interesting to see the crowds then.
to be fair, from memory, the west indies don't really play home tests in december, its normally april-july.

There was actually a smattering of people in the top tiers out of the sun. It was not a lot different to most visiting teams’ drawing there outside of England and periodically some of the middling crowds India have drawn

Tell me about it.
We batted ourselves into a hole trying to take the cautious approach and couldn’t get out of it. Nahid and Tajiul bowled very well to be fair

That ball from Greaves was unplayable.
But makes me think Bangladesh have enough on the board already. We f**ked up not playing a spinner.
It won’t happen of course but our literal best chance of winning is to send our bowlers up early to try and smash 50-60 quick runs and actually build some momentum into the innings

Potentially losing a test to Bangladesh at home. The team turnover and beating Australia in Australia seems to be a dead cat bounce rather than the rise of the Windies. Batting stocks especially thin.

NZ did it against a weaker Bangladesh bowling line up two years ago.
In saying that we really batted poorly this first innings.
In saying that as a batting unit, our biggest problem seems to be situational awareness: times when it’s pretty much mandatory that we need to suck it up and dig in, we go for the counter punch and play dumb shots.
Times we need to be proactive and get the game moving forward, we bat ourselves into a hole.
A Bangaldeshi quick terrorising the Windies on their home deck isn't something we've prob seen before. Ordinarily this game would be far from over as West Indies can easily chase down 250 to 300 to win, though Nahid Rana might make this tough
